Aromatic hydrocarbons of Azerbaijani oils and their impact on the performance of lubricating oils

. The production of high-quality motor oils is carried out using base oils of the II and III groups by API, hydrocracking and hydroisomerization oils, IV group oils and synthetic oils. Synthetic oils are considered the best oils, but they have some disadvantages: they contain isoparaffinic hydrocarbons, their low polarity or its complete absence creates insufficient adhesion of the oil to metal surfaces and the oil flows into the crankcase. These disadvantages are leveled by the addition of 5-10% synthetic alkylnaphthalenes to the oil. The article presents the qualities of motor oils from the developed at the Institute of Petrochemical Processes of ANAS, where a highly refined base oil (15-65%) from Balakhany oil, containing natural alkyl-naphthalenes (3-5%) and a concentrate of Lubrizol additives, was used as the base component. Sample testing was carried out at the Forschungszentrum (FVTR GmbH), which is a recognized scientific center in the field of energy technology, the center has a high level of expertise and direct access to new results and trends in international research. The samples have been shown to have good antiwear and antioxidant properties, according to these indicators, at the level of Mobil 1×1 5W30 oil containing synthetic AN.
